Have your kids make this fun paper plate rainbow twirler with a pot of gold at the end! It involves painting, gluing, AND cutting! Kids love this St. Patrick's Day art project. Make sure to check out our other version of a paper plate rainbow craft too.
Start by having the kids paint rainbow stripes on the front of a paper plate.
Let dry and flip it over to paint the back as well. Blow dryers are great if you're impatient!
Grab a scissors and start at the outside of the plate to cut spirals. Cut out a black pot of gold and glue it to the end of the plate (we trimmed the spots that were pointy).
Glue on some yellow circles to make the gold...you can add some sparkles too! Poke a hole in the middle of the plate and add a string to hang it up!
